Have a job that requires weekly air travel and many nights a week in a hotel. Working through the Core Curriculum now for an October 2019 write (barring a July testing miracle).

I wish we were able to download sections of the core curriculum but I don't think it's possible, yet hint hint JY

Does anyone have suggestions for traveling and studying? It's difficult enough to balance with work and setting aside time in the hotel room to go through some lessons but I really think those hours on a plane could be put to much better use than The Office reruns.

I'm fully aware that scores you get on PTs that you've already seen in the past 3ish months are most likely inflated. In this case, you're encouraged to focus on refining/honing skills needed and mechanically applying approaches learned. And I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Now, how about PTs that you saw more than 10 months ago? For me, 10+ months of time most likely resets my brain. I may remember a couple of LR questions but most of the time it's more like "oh I remember reading about this subject matter in a stimulus' as opposed to 'oh the credited response for this question was C.' I experimented whether or not retake scores reflect my current level earlier this year. Took a PT I hadn't seen in 11 months. Took a brand new PT several days later. They was a 1 point difference.

I've recently been taking PTs in the 60s, which I took last August. So exactly a year has passed. And I've seen massive score increases in three PTs. I think on one of them I had a 12/13 point increase. I really want to believe this is a testament to major improvement as I'm prepping for my third take in 2 months. Any 7sage folks out there that have experienced the same?

I am currently in my third week of the 7Sage Core Curriculum and have found that as I move forward with the content, I tend to being to forget some of the information that I learned in the previous lessons. I am sure that I will have to go back through some parts of the CC once I get into just doing PTs and Blind Reviews. However, I am trying to minimize the amount of time that I spend going back through CC. I want to get as much of the fundamentals down now. As I have reading through some of the discussion boards, I have read about people who have found success from pairing the CC with other resources. This is where I need help. What other resources would you recommend pairing with CC?

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if you guys have any tips on how to read better. By this I mean being able to read quicker and being able to retain more info from the passage.

Thanks!

JY and company,

I was wondering if there is something that you can set digital LSAT on 7Sage to match extra time for accommodated testing on the real LSAT since I have been approved extra time in November 2019 LSAT. I noticed that there is not a way to set the time to match what I was approved. I want use the digital part. Please, help with my request. I want to be able to have it time set for 50 minutes to match my approved accommodated testing time. The digital LSAT for 7sage is set for 35 minutes.

I have registered for the September test but I am not well-prepared for it. I think about applying for law schools one year later so I may not change the September test to a different test date. I decide to withdraw my registration but I still have two questions about withdrawing.

I know that for canceling scores, my law school report will reflect that my score was canceled at my request, If I withdraw my registration, will it be shown on any of my report or transcript?

For the new test-taking limit policy, there is upper limit for how many tests I can take within certain periods, for example, three times in a single testing year. I have never taken LSAT before, if I withdraw this time, it that mean I can only take two tests for this testing year?

Thank you!

Hey All,

I was studying this spring for the LSAT and feeling pretty confident. I will be taking the test in October 2019. My practice thus far has all been in paper and I know the LSAT has switched to digital only. I know LSAC has 3 free digital LSATs on their site but I was wondering if there are any other places I take digital practice LSATs? I am only interested in taking the tests, I have done enough coursework and I am feeling quite good about my scores, I just want to feel a bit more comfortable with the using a tablet to take the test.

Thanks!

Hello 7Sagers!

Recently, we have noticed that quite a few of you have been having trouble with our videos, especially with the videos not loading and the "four dots" constantly giving a buffering signal, but never actually loading.

We have been able to reproduce the issue ourselves privately, but so far that hasn't been enough data for us to pinpoint exactly what's going on. We're calling on everyone who has had the problem to please let us know, especially with the following details:

what device/app you were using, and what OS

what country you are currently in

when does it occur? anything "noteworthy" happening?

We also welcome any screenshots or screencasts.

Either post here or email studentservice@7sage.com.

Thanks everyone!

I just completed all of the core curriculum and started taking timed practice tests. Throughout the core curriculum I rarely got individual questions/problem sets wrong, but as soon as I try to take a practice test, I panic and everything seems a lot more difficult. Is this something that others have experienced and that just gets better with taking more full practice tests or is it indicative that I have some sort of gap in my base knowledge (aka should I focus on core curriculum material or hope that I get better with just taking more practice tests and increasing my endurance)?

I usually take 1 preptest and BR everyday with an occasional 1 or 2 day break, and was wondering what other 7Sagers preptesting and BR scheduling is like. Sometimes I feel like i'm doing too much, but it might just be relative.

Hi everyone,

On Wednesday, August 21, at 9:00 PM ET, I'll host a webinar with Stephen Brown, the Assistant Dean of Enrollment at Fordham. Dean Brown will give us a short presentation on financing your legal education, and then I'll ask him some of the questions you're dying to know:

  • What do you base your awards of merit-based financial aid on?
  • How do you increase your merit-based financial aid?
  • What goes into your admission process, anyway?
  • You’ll get a chance to ask your questions at the end.

    :warning: You’ll have to register for this webinar in advance.

    :cookie: After the webinar, we’ll award one attendee a free Edit Once (see https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/enroll).

    :warning: The webinar will be recorded, and we may post it on our site or on YouTube. We may also share the audio on our podcast.

    → Please register for the webinar here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D-uyJXiLSfSmTU3EEyg6yg

    After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

    If you want to ask a question, you should connect via a computer instead of calling in. We also recommend that you join the webinar a few minutes early and test your microphone.

    Hey everyone! Quick question, how do I pin an entire game? When I review, I have the option to pin individual questions for the game and even star the explanation but I can't seem to figure out how to pin the entire game. I want the entire game to be pinned for when I make problem sets to drill. Thank you in advance! :smile:

    Does anybody know when all of the video explanations should be up for preptest 87 (June 2019)? Only the logic game videos are up. I would like to take this test before September.

    Hi! I'm studying for the LSAT (obviously). I've been studying since early June. I don't feel like I am making any progress. I'm super slow, but accurate in LG, RC, and LR. I've completed the LG Bible, the Kaplan LG book and practiced religiously for 2 months. I'm still hovering in the 155 range. I've only improved by 4 points since my first diagnostic.

    I know I'm bright. I have two advanced degrees and didn't get there without skills. I'm positive that I can do this. I am just freaking out because this test makes me feel incompetent, which just fuels more bad performance on the PT.

    I feel like I'm on the verge of a breakthrough. I'm still just way too slow on LG on the PT.

    Would the prep course get me where I need to go. I thought 5 months would be more than enough time but with all the studying I've done, I feel like I'd need a lifetime to get the kind of score I'm shooting for.

    Please, help. I don't even know what to do.
